Iran Faced $2.65 billion US Bomb Award

A US judge has ordered Iran to pay $2.65 billion to the families of 241 marines killed in a l983 bombing on their Beirut barracks. The ruling allows nearly 1,000 family members and survivors to try to claim Iranian assets from around the world. But getting the money will be difficult. But the families are backed b a law in Congress that would make it easier for victims to claim such compensation. Iran denies involvement in the bombing of course.
